Road of the bilingual; Do you like chocolate ?🍫

Long time no see 😅

Time fries!

Almost two months passed since I tripped to Okinawa.

I've been getting used to my assignment day by day.
Thanks to my current work place which circumstances is still so nice.

So I planned to make some sweets to show my
gratuity to my boss and senior on Valentine's Day.

Let me see...
What kind of sweets should l make?

Cookies? 🍪
Cream puff?(so called シュークリーム😝)

Well......chocolate 🍫╰(*´︶`*)╯♡


When it comes to making sweets from a scratch, It needs time and effort.

Here is my specialty; almond chocolate
In French 'Amand chocolat'


First I went to go shopping to get chocolate and almond, cocoa powder and some plastic bag to rap them up.

Then I can start cooking.

1. Roast the almonds



2. Prepare sirup in a pan, put water and sugar in a pan.



3.Heat it up on a stove until at the boiling point.
Keep boiling two to three minutes or so.




4.Put the roasted almonds in the sirup.



5. Mix them with a wooden spoon until they've converted sugar.(糖化するまで)




6. Keep mixing when they start caramelizing.
Just be careful; they are piping hot🙀



7.Put butter in the pun.
Butter makes taste better and easy to coat some chocolate.



8.Spread the almonds on the sheet and get them a part one by one.






9.They are too hot to coat chocolate so let them cool down.

10. Coat some melted chocolate and cocoa powder in turn.










Sorry I omit some details as follows,
Chocolate needs some special step before you coat so called tempering.

チョコレートはコーティングする際、いわゆるテンパリングが必要。

It took almost a half day to cook complete my specialty.

I gifted them to my boss and senior which made them very happy 😊
'So yummy' 👏
